Kevin Had It Rough Too

"I agree with Disaster's point of view; this matter needs careful consideration," Zhu Yufeng said, then inwardly scoffed. He thought that if he actually tried to bring Lilith away, regardless of Elysia and the others' reactions, just expressing his desire to take her with Lilith would be enough; he felt he wouldn't even need to plan anything, Lilith would simply find a way to come to him herself...

For example, putting on a show like "Art is Patrick Star" at home...

She is absolutely capable of doing something like that.

"Really? Indeed, I think I was a bit too hasty," Kevin said regretfully. "After all, those two families are local bullies in Puyanga City, and it will be very difficult for us to take Lilith away now."

Disaster and Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Compared to me, Kevin, don't you really need to solidify your relationship with Mei a bit more?" Zhu Yufeng subtly hinted to Kevin to stop staring at him and think about his own marriage, lest he end up with nothing but a gay relationship.

When Mei was mentioned, Kevin sighed softly and rubbed his temples helplessly, "Feng, you know Mei too. No matter how proactive I am, it's no use. From the moment I boarded the plane here until now, we haven't exchanged more than ten words on the phone."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

I forgot that Mei is also a very straightforward and honest woman.

Elysia: "..."

So... did Kevin Kuangxin only cause trouble because he was too bored?

Disaster: "..."

Are they really a couple?

Kevin recalled seeing Mei right after his rebirth, and he couldn't help but hug her. However, she didn't react at all, only reminding him after a while. "Kevin, you've been hugging me for 3.41 seconds. If there's nothing else, I still have an experiment to do."

Kevin: "..."

Only he could hug Mei like that. If anyone else dared to do it, Mei's stun gun wasn't a toy. This... well, let's just say it's a small consolation...

"Actually, Mei definitely still cares about you, although under normal circumstances her rationality always outweighs her emotions." This was the only way Zhu Yufeng could Kevin.

Kevin are evident from the descriptions of others; she loves Kevin very much, but she always suppresses this love with reason.

She watched Kevin become Fusion Warrior for her sake and fight tirelessly for her. It would be a lie to say that Mei wasn't moved. But it was precisely because of this that Mei might have developed a sense of inferiority. She didn't think of herself as a likable girl who was unworthy of Kevin doing all this for her.

Therefore, before the Tenth Law incident ended, Kevin, but she would always care about anything that involved Kevin.

It was only after the incident involving the Tenth Law that she finally resolved her inner conflict and openly accepted the fact that she and Kevin were a couple.

The above conclusions and speculations are all based on Lilith's analysis.

After all, Lilith is dedicated to cultivating a relationship with Mei, so her analysis must have some merit, although it's unclear what her motives are for approaching Mei...

Zhu Yufeng glanced down at Kevin's proposal and remained silent. Surely... her goal couldn't be to get Mei to whisper sweet nothings in Kevin's ear, could it?

"By the way, Kevin, haven't you considered buying Mei some souvenirs or something?" Elysia rested her chin on her hands, looking at Kevin. "After all, you're her boyfriend, you should bring her something back from your vacation, right?"

"She doesn't need any souvenirs." Kevin's tone was calm, suggesting Kevin had done this many times before. Mei's answer was unequivocally, "Why would you waste your money on something that serves no purpose other than decoration?"

So Kevin's idea was simpler: Oh, Mei doesn't like it, so I won't bring her.

Actually... Mei also thinks so, but she definitely cares about this thing a lot.

Elysia and Zhu Yufeng both thought of something.

Elysia was thinking about how she had jokingly told May that she wanted a pendant Kevin would give her, and May's reply was, "That thing... probably wouldn't be of any use to you, would it?"

Even when I ask her for other things, she just glances at them and gives them to me.

And did she misunderstand me? I clearly told her it was a joke. During those few days, whenever I saw Kevin, May would always be somewhere nearby.

Zhu Yufeng was thinking about what Lilith had told him: when she was teaching Mei how to make chocolate, Mei did work very hard, but the final product always made her feel like some kind of biological weapon.

Only after asking did I learn that although Yu Mei had memorized the ingredient list and all the steps, she always wanted to add something else, such as, "Chocolate is too high in calories, shouldn't we consider something lower in calories?" or "How sweet does Kevin like chocolate? Or maybe dark chocolate? How about making the chocolate with a flavor gradient?"

Lilith went to great lengths to explain that it was just making a chocolate, and there was no need to think so much. The important thing was the sentiment, not its practicality! Besides, the thing Mei made didn't have any practicality; it only had a biochemical level.

Afterwards, Elysia and Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin with pity. Poor kid, he's got a girlfriend who can't express her feelings.

"Gifts are a way to express your feelings. They can be simple, but you can't do without them," Zhu Yufeng said. "Especially for a girl like Mei, even if she seems aloof towards you, if you reciprocate, she'll keep her distance. After all, you two haven't been lovers for very long, have you?"

Zhu Yufeng felt that he had hinted enough: Kevin had been reborn, but Mei had not. Kevin's current state was clearly the same as the state he was in during the later stages of the previous battle against the Honkai. He felt that he and Mei understood each other well enough.

Instead of worrying about me and Lilith, you should first sort out your relationship with May!

Kevin seemed thoughtful, then nodded. "You're right, it was my oversight. I'll pick out a souvenir or something right away."

Su glanced at Zhu Yufeng, then at Elysia, sighed softly, and stood up. "Then, as your and Mei's friend, I believe I should be able to offer some advice."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Su." Kevin said, then looked at Zhu Yufeng, "Feng, will you come with us?"

"I'm afraid my advice in this regard is not as suitable as Su's," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile. "Besides, I promised Elysia today that I would play with her all day, so I won't be on your team this time."

Kevin glanced at Elysia. As the archbishop of the Feng-Lilith Faction, he felt it necessary to take precautions. Just as he was about to speak and try again, Su dragged him away. "Stop it, Kevin. Since Maple has already said so, don't bother her anymore."

Well done, Sue!

Elysia thought to herself.

After seeing Kevin and Sue off, Zhu Yufeng turned his gaze to Disaster and Kosma: "So, how was your experience at the amusement park, you two?"

Disaster squinted at Kosma: "Amo is even more afraid of heights than I thought."

Elysia laughed and suggested, "Have you ever been to a haunted house? Disaster, let me tell you, the haunted house here is super interesting!"

Kosma: "..."

(Oh no, Kevin's gone. I can't handle both Feng and Elysia by myself... Why did things turn out like this? Feng and Elysia are really... No, that can't be. Feng said before that they just needed to clarify some things, after all, Disaster wasn't reborn.)

Disaster's eye twitched. "A haunted house? Ah, that... well... actually, there's nothing really haunted about it."

"Let's go take a look over there," Kosma suggested.

(There's no other way. Although Elysia's motives might be suspicious, Maple is definitely not going to get involved. Hmm... this is the only option. If we don't leave soon, Elysia will probably suggest that Disaster take me on the roller coaster again.)

Disaster: "!"

Amo, you've changed!

After Kosma finished speaking, he got up and left. When he reached the door, he saw Disaster sitting still. He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand to her. "... Let's go."

Disaster: "..."

Amo is so cunning... Doesn't that mean she can't stop vomiting?

Finally, only the two of them remained. Zhu Yufeng looked at Elysia and said, "Then, let's continue our journey."

Elysia hesitated for a moment. "Maple, why..."

After all, it was Feng who took the initiative to ask Kevin and the others to leave.

"Didn't I tell you?" Zhu Yufeng tilted her head. "I promised you I would play with you all day today."

Elysia: "!"

Zhu Yufeng stood up. "Let's go, there's a spinning teacup nearby, it's nice to talk about anything there."
